hey buddy, good to have another line in town.

im based in bathurst, but theres not really anywhere to take your car. its V8 town remember.best bet would be to make the journey to the eastern suburbs, sydney. even if there were some place in bx it would be hell expensive, and probably not up to sydney quality.

by the way, im based in bx,but currently in europe.

if you ever see a metallic blue soarer or a jzx80 dark blue/green supra, give them a wave. mates of mine. both TT, feel free to show them the power on the RB26, then need to be shown.

be home in 3 weeks, keep an eye out for gunmetal r33 gtst or a JZX100 chaser. both me.

enjoy the track!

I go out there sometimes - a mate lives there and I go out there to get away from the big smoke and piss it up there :D hahaha

Last time I was there, there was me and a mate in a GTR and didnt see any other skylines

will keep an eye out next time :)

Cheers,

Chris

Thats ok, I used to live in the Blue Mountains and took my car to Steves Auto Barn. He does a good job and has 2 Skylines of his own. Its the same shop that built Buster's car.

Its only an hour from here so I will continue to go there.

Also I have seen at least 7 different Skylines getting around town including 2 GTR's and a few GTST's with front mounts ect

And yes the track is awesome. Shame I cant run in the hillclimb this Sunday........have to Work :whistling:

Thanks

Tim.

Heya 32Zilla,

I live in Bx, when I want an oil change etc, I go down to Adam Cope Mechanical, he's on Kircaldy St, which is Just off the Vale Road. (Turn left when you see the Devro sign, after the Farmer's Arms Pub)

Adam Cope's the better in Town, good for general work, inc turbo swaps, suspension work, oils changing etc.

He's honest, and pretty experienced, and happens to have a 2wd dyno :-)

There is also automate, but I personally prefer Adam (Cleaner, newer workshop)

For skyline specific work, (aka serious troubleshooting/tuning etc - Goto Sydney)

And, i'll be one of the 'lines around with a frontmount ;-) Silver SII '33 - ZebHax

:-) see plenty of peeps running about the mount:-)

(including the Ute guy that got done @ 180 on Conrod the other month.. )

For smash repair, Browning's Smash Repair have a good rep, as well as Ray Morcombes (Keppel St and the Vale Road)

IIRC, there's 2 '33 GTR's in town, 1 R34 GTR, 1 34 GTT, about 6 R33 GTST's, 4+ Silvia's, 2 R32 GTST's (1 4 Door) and a good slection of RX's....

    • R12 has not been not available for....decades now. Propane is not a great replacement. (I mean, it's a great replacement, but it is a bit too flammable). R134a being the only way to go forward with an R12 system. The design pressures etc, are close enough to R12's to work. The ability to move heat around is close enough to R12's to work.
    • Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays  
    • careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?
    • OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.
    • I’m thinking that’s the route I’ll  go, thanks for the input!
